:D

Yay, no more semantics! :D Just had my exam which was the one I was dreading the most and it was actually ok! It could've been a lot lot worse anyway...but more importantly I can now watch Smallville season 3, yippee!! I know what I'll be spending a lot of this weekend doing...

Bored (very)

Here's some interesting facts I found on www.greatfacts.com (I'm very very bored of revision at the mo!) I'm not sure if they're all true but some of them are quite worrying if they are!

On average, every chocolate bar contains at least three insect legs.
A cockroach can live nine days without its head before it starves to death.
Fish scales are an ingredient in most lipsticks.
It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.
"Adcomsubordcomphibspac" is the longest acronym. It is a Navy term standing for Administrative Command, Amphibious Forces, Pacific Fleet Subordinate Command.
People photocopying their buttocks are the cause of 23% of all photocopier errors worldwide.

Interesting!

Yoda

After watching starwars the other night, I decided I really want to do a study of Yoda-speak!! It'd be such a cool dissertation topic, although somehow I don't think it'd be allowed...
So, being the sad language geek that I am, I worked out that instead of the usual English constituent order (which is basically word order) SVO (subject verb object) he uses OSV (object subject verb). So for example instead of saying 'you still have much to learn' which is SVO, he says 'much to learn you still have' which is OSV!! I know that probably makes no sense to most people but it does to me! The only reason I know so much about this is cos I've been revising it for my exam on monday, so I'm really hoping I get a question on it then I can use Yoda as an example! I think that'd be pretty original and I'm sure it'd amuse the person marking the exam!
I found some stuff on the net about other sad people who have studied Yoda-ish and apparently my observations are true (yay, I understand something!) although it could also be seen as something else that I can't remember but I'll stick with my OSV theory!

One down...

One exam down, six to go! Just had my oral, which I think went ok, although I'm really not sure, but I know if I say that no-one will believe me even if it's true! Had to talk about lycées autogérés (schools in France that are run by the pupils), and whether or not you can succeed in your studies without discipline(??)...so at least I didn't get asked about french action films!
Now I should really go do some revision for my exam tomorrow...then I have semantics lecture, yippee!! Last week the only thing I learnt was that a hummingbird needs to eat twice its weight in food every day, don't ask me what that has to do with anything!!
